I have one that I removed from my car when I re-made the dash panel. Attached are 2 pictures. The logo is very light and the keeper on one end is missing, but it works. If you are not going for concourse showing, You are welcome to it. Larry 3v5536 ________________________________

Hi Bill, Those switches are hard to come by but they can be found used at British car show flea markets. We have one each spring in southern Ontario and I have

I have done some research and it looks like Lucas switch #39823 for a Lotus epirit will fit. The hole size in my dash is 27.6mm X 43mm. I'll let everyone know if it fits. Thanks for the help. Bill Black 3V5680

We have one each spring in southern Ontario and I have noticed the odd one on occasion. Those switches were used on other British cars but I don't recall which ones. I would strongly recommend you add a relay switch to avoid the high current which tends to melt the plastic over time. I have been using the same headlight switch for 25 years since I added a relay but I was replacing them every 2 or 3 years before that. The same goes for the reversing light circuit because the tiny spring in the Volvo gearbox will also fail over time if used without a relay. If you still haven't found a switch by next April, let me know and I'll look for one at the Ancaster flea market next April 19th. They are usually $10 - $15.

I have a bunch of stuff left over from my recent restoration of the 1970 3l Volvo Marcos if anyone might need something for the BW35 tranny and all hardware. I changed it out for the M410 stick. Larry 3v5536 ________________________________
